I just recently rooted my Inspire and have been trying out some different roms. My question is what do I need to keep on my SD card? There is a lot of stuff on it and it is almost full.
Easy keep what you want, pictures, music and your clockwork mod folder with your ROM back ups.
But first you said you been flashing a lot of roms, did you delete the downloads? Some roms are over 300 Meg.

Thats good to know. I have moved all my pictures and music to my PC. So I should just be able to remove everything from the SD card than, correct? I was a little worried about removing certain folders like the .android and other ones that sounded like system files. But I guess all the important ones are stored on the phone not the SD.
Also, thanks for letting me know about the rom sizes. Did not realize that they where so big. I have 6 different ones on there that I am trying out, to find the one I like.

Yeah, I've made it a habit to delete items such as roms,rils,mods and the like off my SD card for space and for the fear I'll mess up and pick the wrong item and flash something I didn't want to. Also, while on the topic, if you do plan on flashing radios in the future always delete the radio PD98IMG off your sd card after you flash it. It will make dealing with bootloader if you softbrick a little easier. Just food for thought!
I only have a 2gb SD card right now and just finished doing a nandroid backup that is about 900mb. So that plus the stuff I already have the card has left me with only 94mb and I want to test the new MIUI rom.
Can I save the nandroid backup to my computer and if something goes wrong take out the sd card plug it in to the computer put the backup back on and restore it?
Or is there a way to reduce the size of the nandroid backup somehow?
Dude, how do you only have a 2 gig SD card? The inspire came with an 8 gig. I have a 32 gig, and it's almost half full. You should get at least an 8, they're pretty cheap.
See the thing is I got it from this guy on the street called satellite jack. Haha just kidding I accidentally messed up my 8gb reversing the cid number on my first time rooting my phone.
Anyway is there some way to solve my problem for right now (I plan on getting a 16gb later) but want to try out the MIUI rom.
P.S. How much was your 32gb SD card?

Yes you can save the nandroid to your PC while you flash the new rom. Just make sure what ever size SD you get that you get a class 4 or better. I have heard and had issues with class 2 cards not wanting to work right like when flashing a radio
Ok thanks!
Why is the nandroid backup so big though? I mean I understand the system backup being 450+ mb because that's about how big the virtuous rom is. But why is my data backup 450+ mb as well. What does the data.ext4 backup?

It is so big because it backs up all your apps and settings for the apps you have installed and the apps themselfs along with any and all needed resources for the apps. Not sure what the ext4 backup does other then allow back ups for a data partition that is formatted to ext4
I always delete backups after about a week of sticking with a ROM. It saves space and stops me from picking the wrong backup.

Is it really worth upgrading from the amaze to the one s??!!
Probably not unless you REALLY have to have ICS right away and the upgraded camera hardware. I'd say wait until you're upgrade eligible, unless you are now, in which case I'd probably upgrade cause I really like this phone.

When you call it an UPGRADE then yes it's worth it
It's a lot more future proof than the Amaze IMO, probably going to have a lot more development as well.
How can a such high caliber HTC One S lacks a microSD slot? Don't know about you guys but the available ~12Gb or so just AIN'T enough.

why should u bet all your music collection in your phone, when u wont listen to all of it anyway?
ATM I have 8gb sdcard, and still 1gb left + alot of music I dont even listen to. I could easy free up even more space...
Just dont take "all the ****s" with you, Change music in your phone time by time instead of taking it all with you and just "skip -> skip -> skip -> 5x skip -> ok this is nice song"
if you bought premium navigation, 16GB is not enough.

from name I understand its some kind of GPS where maps are saved on your sdcard?
If so, Im using mapdroyid which also saved maps on my sdcard, still have free space.
Im wondering, with no sd card, how will rooting and installing roms/backups and what not work now.
I mean, when you have to wipe the phone, youre gonna have to copy all that stuff on the phone to a PC and then move it back later?
Thats one of the things that made me iffy on the one s.
Storage isnt an issue... it comes with 25gb drobox space, You can take all your stuff with you..
And are you really gunna need 12gb worth of pics and music and whatever on your phone ?? As said above its easy to just swap stuff over, Load it back to dropbox and download something else. Keep it fresh
And i think its silly they dont have an SD slot, But look how thin this device is ! its soo slim, compromises had to be made..
And when you do a wipe, Unless you wipe internal SD card, (which you dont need to when doing a 'wipe') all your media will remain, Only the partition that keeps apps and data will be wiped. So again, Its no big deal..
Look at the potential this phone has, when development starts, nothing is gonna keep this bad boy down
No
azzledazzle is wright, but you can also wipe the sd partition and then mount usb storage to copy files on it (rom...gapps) from cwm recovery. I did that on Nexus S last night.

I think people are getting too much of a hard on for Krait. Yes, the S4 soc is amazing. But there are plenty of downers to this phone already.
1) HTC's amazing track record with batteries... Don't get me wrong, love HTC... but omg I've had to replace batteries on several phones after a year. Much nicer when you can just pay $20 for a chinese battery off amazon that works wonders as opposed to having to get the phone serviced.
I mean, honestly, why couldn't the phone have been build like the Sensation/Amaze and lift off that awesome aluminum back?
2) T-Mobile's coverage and the 25 GB of cloud storage - Depending on where you live, this 25gb is gonna SUCK because you can't access it worth a damn.
Though to be fare, everyone who's said "Just swap out your data" is completely right. You don't NEED 32gb of storage on your phone unless you want to be all "Hey, look at all the **** I've got." Which is something the cult of Apple has nurtured in a lot of people through iTunes.
3) Bottleneck - The parts are better than the software they run on. Honestly, this isn't a gaming PC. This isn't a PC at all. You can't just keep throwing higher and higher end parts into a phone expecting it to work better, you hit a performance plateau. Beyond benchmarks, we are starting to see android's limits at this point in standard use. I honestly feel that the HTC Sensation and Amaze are the best Gingerbread and ICS will offer in phones. Everything else is just stylish masturbation.
4) The Micro Arc Oxidation treatment has been shown to not be as durable on some phones as it should be. I've seen a couple blogs and several owners attest to this. If I can't have my HTC One S with that kickass plasma treatment and red accents without it flaking off I don't want it at all
Really guys, the Amaze (and it's lil bro the Sensation) are both great phones. If you don't mind taking the time to upgrade the sensation to a sensation xe rom you can get a very stable 1.5-1.7 ghz overclock and the Amaze battery fits in it, leaving you with one very very nice piece of machine. I got one to replace a busted Amaze and it runs very nice and I almost don't want to use my Amaze again now that it's fixed...
But back on to the One S... It's pretty, but it's really just HTC's one up of the Galaxy Nexus and Razr MAXX. Don't give in to the stylistic oneupmanship, just hold off and get the next monster they put out. I guarantee you we will see a monster of a phone in a few months that will basically be the next Amaze.
It's small and stylish. Feels great to hold in the hand as opposed to the other giants HTC has released during the years. Why all so called "flagship" models must have ridiculous screen sizes is beyond my understanding - the One S fits right in where it belongs and I think the upgrade is more on the aesthetic side than anything...
Like the above poster, I don't think that the storage space is an issue at all. (Coming previously from a Galaxy S 8gb model which I never really maxed out) and use the cloud if you need the space, hell it's even recommended why wouldn't you want your stuff sync'd all the time? I don't really see the point in having on board storage that I can't backup 24/7 anyway and with today's free data plans, most of us don't care for storing things locally.
But that's just my 2c.

What about when you're somewhere where theres no service or limited service. Viewing, transferring or downloading from dropbox will be impossible.
Or how about this senerio, starting to have to start saving our best, most intimate photos, important files to dropbox because you're already out of space in internal storage and dropbox crashes. Everything lost, forever.
No SD card slot for expandable storage is ridiculous.
For me it makes perfect sense. All my music is streamed through our Subsonic server, pictures auto update to a private G+ album, docs are on Gdocs.
If I'm going to the mountains I just preload some music and I'm good to go.
Physical storage is dying; long live the cloud

I agree wholeheartedly. I get why people don't like the cloud but I have never had any issues with cloud storage. I also use Subsonic to stream my music and it works great. The Subsonic app also caches music on my phone so if I have a bad connection I still have tunes. Also, I have no problem uploading my pictures and everything to Dropbox. Honestly, the lack of storage doesn't concern me at all.

surely you wont need 8GB+ storage for one day ?? you must have access to a computer where you can swap files and remove some stuff you wont be using ?
if the storage is such a problem for you... dont get the One S.. get something else

My device is my computer. Why would I need to be around a PC to swap files back and forth. Why go through that hassle with a mobile device? Then what would be that point of a mobile device?
Yea, you're right. I won't be going for the one s for sure. Amaze will be a better choice.
Mobile devices suppost to help by having data with you, but it cannot replace PC if u want all ur things with u then it wont be so mobile anymore, thats why ppl make cloud storage and cloud computing

Hi basic question regarding my internal sdcard.
Im having an issue and was told I should format my sdcard (I dont have an external sd).
I hooked my phone up via USB and opened it with windows explorer. I see my device and see "Internal Storage", which contains every folder within it. I dont see something specific for "sdcard" and Im unsure how to find it. Is the entire "Internal Storage" folder what Im looking for? Is that what I should completely back up on pc, format and then repopulate? Im nervous about bricking the phone so want to confirm this...
Thanks.
The internal memory is the sd card referred to. You will lose all of your data.

Thanks for the reply. So if I first copy every folder here onto my PC, format it and then put all those folders back, should I expect the phone to restart without any problem and everything fully intact?

Haha I know that feeling, first time I tried to root a phone I almost bricked it probably one of my scariest moments. YouTube helps a lot, there's plenty of step by step guides on how to do pretty much everything to your phone.

It doesn't work at all. It will not see my phone at all. The same with many other programs that claim they are for smart phones. Some are only for SD cards. For SD cards, any program on the net works.
I don't know if anyone here has heard of this program, its called Encase. Its a forensic tool that the Police use for recoverying data from your HD's. I have this program, its worth over $5000 to buy. I am looking for something like that. It does cover Cell phones, but I don't want to shell out money to get it. I was hoping to find another program to use.

Wut?
You have 5k$ recovery program that works with phones but you want something thats free instead?
Idk but if I was in forensics or a cop id say your story doesnt add up.
No offense but now it sounds like you're trying to break into someones phone.
Just sayin.
Why would you need a free (and probably limited) file recovery program when you have a program used by leo's?
Oh and my bad I forgot to mention recuva does not work with your phone in mtp mode. Let your pc read it as a hard drive.
Afaik for android there is no specific file recovery exclusively for android phones.

ok, I may have posted it wrong. I have a copy of Encase that is worth $5g's to buy. I should have said I don't want to shell out money to buy the current versions that do Cell phones. Its worth $10g's Sorry. I am also a collector of data recovery software. Its a field that fascinates me. And a hobby of mine

I'm guessing you are referring to the fact that you have EnCase 6, since EnCase 7 allows smartphone acquisition. However, all you really need is to image the device, and then you can bring in that image into EnCase 6. You could try using FTK imager to see if it will image the device.
If you really need open-source forensics, you can try using Helix, or Caine.

My fiance had to get a warranty exchange on her Sony Xperia Purple. The phone they gave her was a Samsung On5. Get old phone had 16 gb and her On5 only has 8 gb. I was trying to transfer her apps to her ST card so it would give her some more space so she can download her apps she had on get old phone. She uses the phone a lot to write, look things up and so on. She has terminal breast cancer and is bed most of the time so that's pretty much all she has to do that's not watching tv. Anyways I fought with T-Mobile for a month asking why they wanted to give her a phone with less space and that's not of equal value and shape. They said it's because after the past few years the phone lost its value and the On5 is what is around the same price now since they don't make get phone anymore. I think it's crap because she should have at least had the same 16 gb. Anyways, she doesn't so now I'm trying to figure out why it won't let me transfer the app to the sd card. So when I go into the application its highlighted and I'm able to click transfer to SD card. When I hit transfer it goes to around 80-90% then says unable to to transfer because there's not enough space. Which I just put a 32 gb SD card in there and formatted the card. It doesn't have not thing on the card. I'm able to transfer pictures on the card and music just. But I went ahead and erased those so I could have enough space. The apps that are aloud to be transferred ate highlighted and give you the option. Three other apps that you can't transfer don't even have an option for you to move to SD card. Can some one please let me know what I need and can do so I can free some space up for her and she can enjoy the phone. I can't just let go buy a different phone. Even though I wish I could. Thank you so very much!! [emoji16] [emoji20]

Firstly, I'm sorry about your wife man.
Secondly, You should edit the post and remove your IMEI & Serial Number. Those aren't of any help and posting them here can be a huge security risk for you. Replace it instead with your android version and such.
And, thirdly.....you have T-Mobile's version of the On5, which means its running 6.0. Marshmallow has a feature called "adoptable storage" where you can basically "merge" your external SD card with the internal storage. If Samsung didnt move or mess with it, it should be somewhere in settings>storage. Try that out and let me know if it works.
Keep in mind that it'll format your SD card though. And it'll also become unusable outside your wife's device.

Thank you Freewander10 for your response. I believe I changed the the info on the original like you recommended. So I went into the settings them storage and it says internal storage 7.66 GB used of 8.00 GB. Then below that it says SD Card 128 KB used of 31.24 GB. I don't see anything that says adoptive storage. I am so sorry for the annoyance of all of this. I'm just trying to get it where she can free up some space. I am terrible at this lol. But I can learn. Anyways, I'm still trying to find somehow to do this. I was trying to post a video and a picture but it said both were too big. So I apologize about that. I just don't understand why it slows that its able to be transferred, I have the space but it still won't because not enough space. Lol please forgive my slowness. I really do appreciate your help. Sorry for any frustration.

Thank you so much for your reply. This is the 4th time I have tried to reply lol. So it keeps getting shorter and shorter. I believe I took all the info off. Thank you for the heads up. It's still showing in your reply and I'm not sure how to change that. I went to settings then storage. There was no adoptive storage. I'm not sure what to do. Its so stressful. I really do appreciate your help. I hope I have not caused any frustration or even annoyance lol. I am really terrible at knowing the details about phones but I do learn. Thank you for your help again. If you think of anything please let me know. She has no space on the device but has a full empty but formatted SD card. I hope I have not made myself look too ignorant lol. Thank you so much!

Its no problem at all bro. I'm happy to help.
And thanks for pointing out your info was still in my response :silly:
I've made the necessary edits.
Now, I did a bit of googling and found out that Samsung deliberately disabled the adoptable storage feature on the On5. Why? I have no idea.
But all hope isn't lost. You can still enable it/something similar. But you'll have to get your hands a bit dirty.
Most threads/sites I've been to recommended an app called "root essentials".... And as the name suggests, it requires root. Seeing this is Samsung, I doubt any/most of the one click root apps will be of any use, but I found a thread for your wife's device that outlines another method to get root access. There's also information in there on how to enable adoptable storage (via root essentials). Check it out and let me know I you make any progress. And try not to blow up the device
